Scripts
For after effects workflow

Word replace from a text file

I can't find the original authors site (James Burns) so you can download it here. It's a java script that allows you to create a template composition with generic text in it. Then use that comp as a template to create new comps with text that you specify from a .txt file. Similar to data sets in Photoshop.

This has saved me hours of work when doing name titles for boring government work. You just set it up and get the client or producer to give you the names as one long txt file and set it a rendering. I'm all for automation in After Effects.
